Abstract
The growth retardant Phosfon D inhibits the growth of some yeasts and human pathogenic filamentous fungi. The toxic effects of the compound on the dermatophyte Microsporum cookei were completely reversed by adding ergosterol and oleic acid to the medium. The significance of these findings is discussed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
